1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student
learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. Teachers:
1a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
- Scenario 1: Language Arts/History
Written: Mrs. Johnson is a 9th grade English teacher with a Master's Degree in Instructional Technology. To culminate a novel unit, Mrs. Johnson required students to create podcasts using various characters from the selection of novels they read over the course of the school year. Since this occurred around Valentine's Day, students were charged with creating a personal ad in a newspaper as a character from one of the novels. They then "answered" these personal ads using a podcast format with a partner of the opposite sex. With assistance from a colleague, Mrs. Johnson modeled a sample podcast for her students. She demonstrated how to appropriately select characters, create a personal ad, record dialogue, and upload the content to itunes. Once students understood the process, female students were paired with male students. While "in character" students recorded their personal ad using Audacity. After recording the dialogue, students uploaded their podcasts using i-tunes. This unit should take 4 or 5 60-minute class periods to complete.
Example Resource for this Scenario: Novels: Speak, The Body of Christopher Creed, Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies
Multimedia: Audacity itunes Microsoft Office Internet microphone Below is a student example where "Jack" from Lord of the Flies meets "Curly's wife" from Of Mice and Men as well as the PDF file with the instructions for the assignment.
Mrs. Self, a pre-cal teacher, wanted her student to make music videos to demonstrate difficult concepts (innovative thinking and inventiveness). Students were allowed to choose a melody and make up a song to explain the mathematical concept. For this particular lesson, Mrs. Self is currently working on derivatives.
Example Resource for this Scenario: Video created by previous pre-cal students. Students will be provided Flip cameras and access to Windows Movie Maker.
Multimedia: This video is a parody of Runaway Love by Ludacris.
